As Ive got a bunch of PMs since yesterday and there are several requests for information and clarifications done on other boards Ill say a few words about this incident.
After several months of troubles the entire PX clan got banned from the server.
Was it really necessary to ban them?
No.
I also had the option to keep watching these conflicts until the server is completely dead, which would just have been a matter of time. In the same way the intensity of these conflicts increased the player amount on the server dropped in the past weeks.
Well its being said that its best to get unpleasant things over and done with.
Since PX is one of the largest clans on the server... if not the largest... it means that we have lost a noticeable amount of players.
However, I am sure this loss will get compensated once we finally return to a friendly community environment where the players play together and not against each other anymore.
The first steps to re-establish a fair RP environment are being made in the next few days aswell as the support of the remaining CSF clans has already started.
I see this unpleasant event as a chance and not a problem.
Was it necessary to ban all PX?
I also have to answer with a "no".
It was not necessary but with the current amount of information it was a logical step. Right now it is not possible for me to do individual judgement.
I might be wrong but I believe not that all PX share the same views and are responsible for what has happened during the past months. Individual judgement will be considered once requested by these players.
What has lead to this decision?
Puhh, where to start?
- war like conflicts
- unreasonable ultimatums
- broken RP rules
- false accusations
- disturbing events
- the try to ruin other players reputation
- broken server rules
- undermining and ignoring the admin decisions combined with smartass answers
- DWs secret wish to replace me as admin

All in all PX does not appear to be a clan that cares about nothing but PX itself.
Personally I have real problems with clans which tell their members not to play together with other players or even to stay away from the SWAT community (both has happened).
Just alone this year I had to spend 2-3 weeks investigating with all these issues and spending my time on the server or reading tons of logs and PMs because of all this crap.
Time that couldnt be used to do anything constructive.... just because a few people think that they have the most important clan on the server.
This chapter is over now.
PX got more than enough warnings and for sure more than enough time to do changes.
If they think otherwise they just should think back a few weeks how much time they have granted to the absent BG leader.
You know... life is like a pendulum.
